No Celebration.

There will be no Fourth of Jul,
celebration in kctchum. Several
efforts have been made to raise the
patriotic spirit of the people to the
proper pitch, but failure was the
result. 1t was endeavored to secure
the presence Of Governor West OF
Utah as orator of the day, but the
gentleman finds it impossible to
come to Ketchum, and this, with
the failure Of other projects, has
led to the proposed celebration be-
ing abandoned. Ketchum will be
about the only town in the territory
of any size that will not celebrate
the day, and as Il result, instead OF
having the pleasure of entertain
ing a great number of visitors the
town will put on funeral appear
ance, with most of the people gone
to other points to get rid of their
loose change and give vent to their
patriotism.

Examine and Compare.

Mine owners and proprietors who
are now engaged in arranging for
their seasons work, should in
the matter of purchasing their
supplies, visit the leading stores OF
Ketchum before going elsewhere to
secure the same. 1t is an errone-
Gus idea that goods can be pur-
chased cheaper in HALEY than here
in Ketchum. Upon the same terms
of sale. every advantage offered else
where can be secured in Ketchum
and the same character Of goods
supplied. The only point of differ
ence lies wholly in the fact that the
person paying cash for his supplies
has an advantage over those who
make their purchases on the credit
system and do not find themselves
in a position to meet the indebted
ness until the seasons work is
done, while very often the time of
liquidation is extended even to a
greater period. This, in the regula-
ton of prices, is equally true of
HALEY, Ketchum or any other
point. Those coming to town to
make their seasons purchases will
find themselves as fairly dealt with
and as literally treated as any
where. An examination of goods
and comparison of prices will fully
substantiate this claim.

PETER OLSEN.
The Supposed California Murderer in
Custody 1t HALEY.

1t is becoming a dangerous mat.
ter for a man with light blue eyes
a scar on the left cheek and bald
spot on his head about the size OF
dollar to be travelling about. He
will certainly be arrested on sus-
picion Of being Peter Olsen who is
wanted in California for killing
Mrs. Mile Lyons near Napa City
in February last. 1t is wonderful
how many men are found answer
ing Olsen's description. A poor
immigrant was found in California
hard at work upon a ranch he had
just secured. Two amateur detec.
tives discovered him and took him
to be Olsen. He was shot down and
killed and then it was shown that
he was not the man wanted. A dozen
others have since been arrested on
the supposition that they were the
party wanted. The last arrest is
that made on Monday last by Con-
ductor Lane of the passenger train
running over the Branch. The man
thus arrested certainly bears a
striking resemblance to the pub
lished description of the murderer,
and his actions on being taken in
charge were such as to impress
many with the belief that the right
man had at last been captured.
He was safely confined in the
county Jail and the telegraph
brought into requisition to notify
the California authorities of the
capture and pending further in
vestigations will be kept in custody.
Since the murder of the woman,
her husband has been continually
travelling in search of the murderer
and lately secured Oregon, follow
ing clues, without any success. He
has returned to his home and very
possibly will now come to HALEY
to see the suspect arrested. Should
he prove to be the right man Con-
ductor Lane will secure the rewards,
amounting to $4,000, for the appre-
tension of the man, which will
prove very good days work.

Up Country Freight.

Freight for the upper country is
beginning to arrive more rapidly
and the repairs to the road being
completed, it is being promptly
dispatched to its final destination
II. G. Lewis, agent, informs the
KEYSTONE that the warehouse OF
the Ketchum Fast Freight Line is
we'll filled up with merchandise OF
all description for Bayhorse and
Challis. Coke for the smelter at
Bayhorse is also arriving, and two
loads were forwarded during the
early part of the week. The teams
now leave here every other day for
Bayhorse, which will keep that
place we'll supplied with its neces-
sites. About all the freight for the
upper country will now come by
way Of Ketchum as a distributing
point, which gives the lower part
of town a lively appearance. with
the starting out and returning OF
the great prairie schooners. The
contract for hauling salt to the Gus
ter mill has not as vet been let, the
report of it's having been given to
Blackfoot parties being erroneous.

the EAST FORK SCHOOL HOUSE.
Trouble Arising Over Its Occupancy
as q Saloon.

The trouble over the occupancy
of the East Fork school house as a
saloon is still being agitated. A
correspondent Of the HALEY Times
calls upon the authorities to pre-
vent the school house being used for
such purpose and reflects severely
upon Captain Ludlow, one of the
trustees of the district, for cham
pioning the cause of the saloon.
The letter in the Times bears the
ear marks of personal malice, and
the writer apparently rushes into
print with a statement concerning
Captain Ludlow that is not fairly
set forth If, AS asserted, the East
Fork school house is not indebted
to the county In any way for its
construction, and Is the result of
private enterprise, an appeal to au-
thorities outside Of the district Is
likely to be made III vain. Would
il not be a great deal better for the
people OF East Fork to get together
and calmly discuss the matter and,
if possible, arrive at some amicable
understanding among themselves?
1t certainly would appear in better
taste to have the school house free
from the odium of once having
been a saloon. Those who spent
their time and money in building
the school house certainly have
right to be heard in the matter, but
in expressing their views should not
resort TO personalities. While some
of the people Of East Fork may
differ with Captain Ludlow as to
the policy Of renting the building
for saloon purposes, no Interior
motive can be ascribed to him in
favoring such action. Ifthe saloon
keeper sent a keg of beer to the
North Star mine, and two of the
men got drunk from drinking it
Captain Ludlow did exactly right
in discharging them.

ties, then up through the kitchen
floor, burning its way through the
bed of dog. A little girl in the
house at the time also received
quite shock and was badly fright
ened. After the storm had passed
over fire was observed to be
raging in the timber on the noun
tains near the head of Trail creek.
1t was probably caused by tree
being struck with flash of light
ming.

A Bad Fall.

On Monday evening last young
lad named Johnny Cummins, while
returning from the race track, met
with a severe accident. He was
mounted on horse and making
good time down the road, when the
saddle suddenly turned and he was
thrown violently to the ground,
striking upon his head. He lay in
senseless condition, and for a
time it was feared he had sustained
serious injuries. With the assist
ance of several parties he was
quickly removed to the residence
of his parents and DIR. Lewis sum-
moned. Later in the evening he
rallied and, outside of "a severe
shock, it was discovered had not
been injured.

Discovery Made BY PROJECTORS Near
the Big Bend Of Snake River.

The great fields of lava found
throughout the southern and east
ern parts of Idaho, relics of pre-
historic age, are the silent reposito.
ries of many a we'll kept secret
which had they but tongues to
speak would reveal the mysteries
surrounding many a dark deed OF
crime committed and tell the story
of untold privations and untimely
death of more than one lost wander
er on the barren wastes. Once in
awhile a party of prospectors, or a
rowing band of cowboys, while ira
versing the lava beds, comes unex-
pectedly upon the bleached bones
OF some unfortunate, the tell tale
bullet hole a silent witness of the
miserable death of the victim.
Many of these murders have been
charged to rowing Indians, but,
while doubtless guilty of some, the
redskins are also made to suffer
the crimes of white outlaws and
robbers. The most desolate of all
the lava region is perhaps found at
the big bend Of the Snake river,
where the old emigrant road crosses
on its way to Starts Ferry. In
this region not great while ago
two prospectors, while examining
the great assures found in the lava
beds, discovered the remains of a
man, the skull lying in deep crew
ice, while a number of the smaller
bones were scattered about upon
the shelving rocks beneath. 1t was
near the place where some time ago
the body of Lou Newton was found,
and which was afterward buried at
Bellevue. Who the unfortunate
was, what lead to his death and the
hiding of his body in the crevice
will always remain mystery. The
finding of the bones adds but one
more to the list of undiscovered
crimes, and there are doubtless
many more yet to be revealed.

A Deserted Village.

The Enterprise of Virginia City,
Nevada, in speaking of deserted
mining camps thus refers to an
Alturas county town:
The best example of deserted village at
present known on the Pacific Coast is
Houston, Idaho. Three years ago ii con-
tanned over 500 inhabitants; now there are,
all told, nine persons in the place. The
town has fresh and bright look. There is
q handsome hotel on Main street; big
smelter is seen; there is large brewery.
and along the principal street stand neat
stores with fresh-looking signs, but the
people are gone and all is silent. n news
paper outfit was brought in and is there
yet The town collapsed before a paper
was issued, and the owners of the material
seem to have never since had money enough
to pay the freight out. The town sprung
up on the strength of a big copper pros
pect; the copper pettered and the peo-
pie skedadled, many of them leaving be-
mind furniture and all else except clothing
and some light and valuable goods.

The Smoky Road.

The work of repairing the bridges
in the canyon at the head of Warm
Springs creek is progressing slowly
and those who are waiting the COM
pletion of the work in order to
travel the road ere becoming fretful
over the delay. Until the bridges
are again replaced it will be impos-
sible to travel the road with wagons,
consequently merchandise is being
held here awaiting transportation.
This delay is operating against the
town, as parties in hurry to have
their goods forwarded have in sew
eral instances gone to HALEY to
make their purchases and sent the
same to Smoky from that point.
The washouts on the Little Smoky
road are being rapidly repaired.
Men were put to work at the earli-
est possible moment to repair the
damage done, and to raise the nee
essary funds the road tax was col
lected from the people in Smoky
in order to meet the expense. 1t is
a matter of the utmost importance
that the road from Ketchum be in
condition for travel at the earliest
possible time. Supervisor Bour-
geois is at work with small force
of men but the Importance of the
work necessitates a larger number
of men to insure the rapid compile
ton of the repairs.

horse the animal suddenly threw
him into bunch of quaking asp

Astonishing Success.

1t is the dasy OF every person who
has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let it's wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of
all Druggists to recommend it to the
poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported.
Such medicine as the GERMAN
SYRUP cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Reg
ular size, Is cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United
